by admin
In part one of this two-part series, we discussed tips 1 thru 5 of the “10 Proven Tips For Making Money Online.” Now, in part two, we’ll examine tips 6 thru 10.
While there are a variety of factors that contribute to online success, no one can dispute the effectiveness of the following proven tips:
6. You must educate yourself. Do you know why most people go online? Believe it or not, most people go online not to buy anything, but rather to search for information to solve a problem they have. So why is knowing this information so important? Because if you understand and realize that the internet is driven by information seekers first and foremost, you can better harness its unlimited power and money-making potential. How?
You can become an information provider yourself, and provide people with the valuable, useful information they’re seeking, in the form of articles like this one, e-books, reports, videos, teleconferences, etc. Do you see how having a little knowledge can work to your advantage?
Educate yourself on how the internet works. If you’re truly serious about making money online, in addition to reading articles like this one, read as many quality, online publications as you possibly can. A few of my favorites include SitePro News, ClickZ Newsletter and MarketingProfs Newsletter. Learn as much as you can about sales and marketing. It can make all the difference in the world to your bottom line.
7. Take the path of least resistance. Let me ask you a question. If you’ve been a janitor all your life, what makes you think that you can suddenly wake up one day and make money online marketing pet supplies? Why not take the path of least resistence, and market products and services you have intimate knowledge of? The quickest and easiest way to make money online is to take the knowledge and life experience you already have and build a business around it.
You’d have a much greater chance at success if you took your janitorial experience and wrote an e-book or created a video about how to start and operate a janitorial service. We all have something that we’re good at and knowledgeable about. The key is being able to take that knowledge and convert it into a successful money-making enterprise.
8. Promote, promote, promote. You can have the greatest product or service in the world, but if no one knows about it, well, then it’s not going to do you much good. That’s why you must constantly promote the daylights out of your product or service. Whether it’s pay-per-click advertising, article marketing, press releases, ezine advertising, whatever. Consistent promotion is the key to making money online. Remember, “the squeaky wheel gets the oil!”
9. You must be consistent. In order for your car to perform at peak efficiency, there are certain routine steps you must do consistently. This includes changing your oil and filters, checking your belts and fluid levels, checking your tire pressure, keeping your engine tuned, and of course putting gas in the tank. Well, if you want to make money online you must also perform certain routine steps consistently. That means you have to follow the ten tips in this article religiously. You can’t just follow some of the tips some of the time. That’s not going to cut it. In order for the tips to be effective, you must follow all of the tips all of the time. You must be consistent!
10. Don’t give up too soon. Author Norman Vincent Peale famously said: “it’s always too soon to quit.” But yet, that’s what many people do. They quit way too soon. Don’t be one of those people who look back on life with regret because they quit too soon. Give success everything you’ve got. Give it your best shot. You’re worth it. Despite any obstacles you might encounter, hang in there when the going gets tough. Remember, “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Don’t ever give up!

Do I have any options left?
I’ll try to fit as much as I can here. first let me say I do not try to excuse any of my own bad actions and misbehavior, I know what I did wrong.
I met my ex (will call her E for convenience sake)online several years ago, and we were a very happy couple, but circumstances out of our control forced us to separate. I met someone else (call her L), dated her for two years before she left me for one of my best friends.
During the "grieving period" I started talking to E again, and really before I should have, I quit my job and moved halfway across the country to be with her. My family was furious at me, my grandmother going as far as saying "Don’t call, don’t write, and don’t die because I won’t pay to ship your body home."
I loved E, I truly did. I easily fell back into those old feelings. But while I had had one fairly stable (until the end) relationship with L, E had had a string of very bad ones and was hurt and couldn’t bring herself to trust. She wouldn’t say "I love you," or "I love you too", and often resented me calling her my girlfriend in public… Yet she controlled my movements, my where abouts, every part of our relationship was on her terms.
Ironically, my life aside from her was going very well. i had a good paying job (though she controlled all the money), a nice apartment (If she ever cleaned up), and the bills were paid on time. I loved her and I trusted her. I thought with a little time and patience, she would come around. And I liked her family (save her obnoxious 12 year old brother). And had I been consulted when her family lost their home i would have insisted they come live with us. (I wasn’t but that was a story for another time).
Her family did find another place, but it had only two bedrooms… room enough for her parents and either the previously mentioned obnoxious brother or the 16 year old sister. (Yeah I can hear the ah hahs in the audience now). Still things went smoothly for nearly 3 months that way.
Fast Foreword to early September. I had not seen my family in 6 months, so I asked Erin if there was a way to carve 250 out of the next 3 months budget so I could go see them over my birthday. She told me emphatically no… that we were barely making ends meet. And i believed her. Until the sand came.
The next day there was a delivery. Aquarium sand. And according to the receipt $50 worth of it, paid out of my paycheck. I was flabbergasted… I went online to check my account and did the math… She was eating out almost every day with her mom and sister. charges for Ever-quest. Charges for Second Life. the Sand was barely the tip of the ice-burg. She was splurging every spare dime we had…and I couldn’t even go home to see my folks.
I was heartbroken…and i realized I wasn’t a boyfriend. that she would never love me. I was just a paycheck to her.
Her sister, T, found me like that and comforted me… I hadn’t talked that long with anyone in ages… And we ended up kissing. Kissing is all that time… but I got a taste of feeling alive again.
We flirted allot in the days after this. No sex of any kind, but allot of making out and heavy petting. When her sister was around we flirted between my computer and hers over Yahoo instant messenger.
That is how E found out. The chat logs. She called the cops and I was arrested for (Initially) sexual assault in the 4th degree. Unlawful touching. I didn’t fight them on it, I knew what I had (and hadn’t) done. The hiccup came though after I spent October, November and most of December in jail.
See they couldn’t actually charge me with Sexual Assault 4. the chats proved the relationship was 100% consensual despite our nearly 10 year age difference and 16 is the age of consent in that state.
So instead, they took the same chat logs that exonerated me of the class D felony and used them to charge me with Computer child Pornography (Using an internet service to solicate a sexual act from some who is or is believed to be under 18). Meaning while I legally could have taken her and preformed every sex act imagine-able, I was not allowed to talk dirty to her.
I was told again and again I was looking at 20-25 years in prison with the stigma of being a baby raper. So when they offered me a plea of 6 years probation and registering as a sex offender I jumped on it like a starving dog on a bone.
But now here I am. I can’t get a job because of my felony conviction, or work anywhere near small children. My brother nearly lost his 5 yo son because Protective services were told about me. My picture is in a sex offender registry.
Is there anything I can do? i’m not saying I didn’t make a mistake but doesn’t this seem a little harsh?
I understand Alaska is a great land of opportunity
